wigan-v-chelsea-didier-drogbaDidier Drogba have declared Chelsea‘s 3 – 1 defeat to Wigan the worst game his played in 5 years.

Drogba scored the Blues’ only goal in a 3-1 loss at the DW Stadium in which they were outplayed and outfought.

Captain John Terry said: “The least we expect from every player is that we work hard and fight – and we did not do that.”

And to underline the point, Drogba told the Evening Standard: “We didn’t play very well. We lost all the battles, all the duels. We didn’t win anything. We were poor.

“This is the worst game I have played in since I have been at Chelsea. We need to think about it, correct what was wrong and try to go again.

“We equalised just after half-time and we were trying to improve our game, but then there was the penalty and a red card, which I think was a bit harsh.

“Still with 10 players we had the chance to make it 2-2, but we didn’t do it. There was a lot of space and they used the pitch very well, they deserved to win.”

Terry earlier told The Sun: “The least we expect from every player is that we work hard and fight – and we did not do that.

“We didn’t win our headers and we didn’t win our tackles – and that’s simply not good enough.

“You can go anywhere and not play well. But when you come to places like this, you’ve got to match their work-rate.

“We didn’t do that, the whole team. That’s the most disappointing thing.

“All the other big sides had emphatic wins, so it’s even more disappointing we’ve thrown away three points.
